Mr. Bianco, was it I who molested thousands of innocent children over the centuries under the protection of church hierarchy?

Was it I who had to pay out over $2 billion (in the U.S. alone over the last 60 years) in damages for these crimes?

Yet for my fact-based criticisms, you blame ME, for damaging the church?

The problem, Mr. Bianco, is that people like you are quick to praise the good work the church does (and it does), but you refuse to recognize, then you minimize the ENORMOUS child-molestation crimes, a large cancer the church has had over the centuries worldwide!

If a family loved one of yours was repeatedly molested by a priest and protected by his bishop and I criticized this, would you blame ME for damaging the church?

As for your suggestion that I “give it up, put down my stone and ask for forgiveness,” I suggest that you take your own advice.

And one of your defenses of the church, that some teams in the NCAA basketball tournament had the names of saints, tells me much about you. God forgive you.
